- Effective traditional wok
It's a wok, made of cast iron, as simple as that. When you're storing it, I'd recommend not hanging it (or doing it only very carefully), someone managed to knock mine off it's perch and it cracked in half. That's to be expected with cast iron, just keep it in mind.

- The Real Deal
Although it looks a little rough around the edges and primative, this nicely weighted, cast iron wok is the real deal and a pleasure to work with.
It heats evenly and holds the heat while ingredients are being added, something a lot of lighter weight, carbon steel woks don't. Once seasoned properly it is as good as Teflon without the toxic chemicals (one reason I bought it). It is not very deep, but easily stirs up a main dish stir fry for one or two people, or a side for four.

It proved to be lighter than my old cold steel wok and has a better distribution of heat. My western cast iron now sits oiled and stored stored under the stove waiting for that rare ... Read More
